A federal judge just issued a scathing report on the antics of nursing homes operators for using scare tactics to trick those who are mentally ill into staying in their homes instead of transferring to a community setting.
For those who have a mental illness, this is not a surprise and for those who have a mental illness but have so much blind faith in their Care Providers they will do whatever they say or take whatever they prescribe, this is, no doubt, an eye opening experience for them and a good example of why you should rely only on yourself for your well being, people will fail you, even your doctor.
Just because your PCP (Primary Care Physician)prescribes a pill does not mean that is the right pill for you and it should not takes years to find the correct anti-depressant to correct depression, bi-polar or schizophrenia, that is an indication of bad health care.
Mental illness is an easily treatable illness which strikes 1 in 5 people, 85% of which are expected to recover fully.
